Cultural circles in Egypt were struck with deep sorrow following the sudden passing of young poet Mohamed Abu Al-Azaim, who died after a motorcycle accident affiliated with a ride-hailing service, in a shocking incident that left a profound impact on his admirers and colleagues.
What made the tragedy even more painful was that the poet seemed to sense the approach of his end, as in his final moments he asked for his mother to be contacted so he could say goodbye in a deeply emotional and heartbreaking scene.
In a testimony filled with human depth, his treating psychiatrist, Dr. Mona Kabil, recounted the details of those final moments in a lengthy post on her Facebook page, revealing that he contacted her before his passing, saying with painful certainty: “I am dying,” words that captured a deep internal sense of the impending loss.
Kabil recalled that Wednesday evening seemed ordinary, as Mohamed was returning from work on a motorcycle, before the scene suddenly turned into an unexpected tragedy. Witnesses described it as a passing accident, but it marked the beginning of the end.
Despite the ambulance arriving quickly and transporting him to the hospital while he was still alive, the internal bleeding worked silently, taking his life that same night without giving his loved ones the chance for a final farewell.
A sense of departure
She added that his feeling of nearing death was not sudden, but had been preceded by an inner sense he shared with her days earlier, when he told her he felt he would leave. This prompted him to call his mother to say goodbye and leave her with his final words, in a moment that reflected the depth of his human connections.
In describing him, Kabil portrayed not only his struggles but also the image of a unique poet and human being who carried an intense sensitivity toward the world, feeling deeply for everything around him and living internal conflicts between light and pain. She emphasized that he was not just a writer, but a true voice reflecting sincere human suffering, striving to understand life without letting it break him.
She concluded her testimony with a heartfelt farewell: “Goodbye, Mohamed. You walked lightly like someone who knew that words are heavier than mountains, hiding in your pocket poems that were not yet written, protecting them from eyes that see only ink and forget the heart bleeding beneath.”
It is worth noting that the late poet was known for his delicate poetic language and emotional poems that touched feelings with depth and simplicity. Among his most notable works is the poetry collection “When Times Turn Red,” which established his presence as one of the distinguished young poetic voices.
